I have heard of capable adults with unusual body types drowning in shallow water if they lost their footing. One example was a woman with an extremely buoyant butt and lower body in less than 4 feet of water. She was just wading and did not know how to swim; she couldn't roll onto her back nor get her mouth back up to the surface.
Goggles - I wear 'em in the pool even just kicking to protect my contacts from splashes. Chlorine water ruins 'em. Probably not the case here.
Snorkel - Her osteoporosis may dictate this. Hope I never get it. My mom's is so severe that she can't look people in the eye and she lost over 6" height.
